Washington, D.C. -- The Half-Smoke

Foods Your City Is Known For

Famous in Washington, the half-smoke might appear, to the untrained eye, to be a simple hot dog. Instead, it’s a half-pork, half-beef jumbo dog, smoked to perfection and served with herbs, onions and chili sauce. Even President Obama has been known to take time out of his busy schedule to visit the best half-smoke joints in the city.
